Given a large set of continuous omics variables and some continuous clinical outcome, each measured for a few subjects at only a few time points, we seek to identify those variables that co-vary over time with the outcome. To motivate this problem we study a dataset with hundreds of urinary metabolites along with Tuberculosis mycobacterial load as our clinical outcome, with the objective of identifying potential biomarkers for disease progression. For such data clinicians usually apply simple linear mixed effects models which often lack power given the low number of replicates and time points. We propose a penalized regression approach on the first differences of the data that extends the lasso + Laplacian method [Li and Li (Network-constrained regularization and variable selection for analysis of genomic data. Bioinformatics 2008;24:1175\u201382.)] to a longitudinal group lasso + Laplacian approach. Our method, PROLONG, leverages the first differences of the data to increase power by pairing the consecutive time points. The Laplacian penalty incorporates the dependence structure of the variables, and the group lasso penalty induces sparsity while grouping together all contemporaneous and lag terms for each omic variable in the model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>With an automated selection of model hyper-parameters, PROLONG correctly selects target metabolites with high specificity and sensitivity across a wide range of scenarios.
